Upton surprises him on The Today Show

Jake Davidson continues to be the luckiest high school senior in the U.S. Model Kate Upton surprises him with a phone call during his appearance on The TODAY Show on Wednesday. Did she say "yes?"

If you have been following the saga of a Southern California teen who asked model Kate Upton to his prom via YouTube, we have an update for you. Upton has moved from a "maybe" to a strong "maybe" after a surprise phone call during the teen's appearance on The TODAY Show on Wednesday.

While Jake Davidson was talking to morning news show hosts, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, Upton chimed into the conversation as the high school senior turned bright red. This was the first time Davidson had ever spoken to hisSports Illustrated crush and it showed all over his face.

However, the teen is anything but shy. He went straight into his sales pitch to get Upton to attend the prom as his date.

He said, “This just got so much better now that you’re on the phone. I’m telling you it will be a great night, great evening. I could even get the curfew extended hopefully by my parents, maybe. I hope you’d be interested if your schedule is free, and what time should I pick you up if you are interested?”

The 20-year-old cover girl gave him a positive response.

She said, "Well, I definitely have to just check my schedule, but you seem like so much fun and if everything works out, I'd love to go with you. I know we'd have a blast."
